Julie Kaminski’s path to entrepreneurship wasn’t just about building a business—it was about creating a life that aligned with her values, her family, and her passion for women’s health. As the creator of the SAVOR Method™ and a nationally board-certified health and wellness coach, Julie helps women reconnect with themselves in a way that’s realistic, personalized, and deeply empowering.
A lifelong athlete, Julie first learned how to pivot when her college synchronized swimming program was cut. It was a defining moment—one that led her toward a broader view of wellness. She began in fitness training but quickly realized that the real transformation women sought went far beyond the gym. So, she earned her master’s in counseling, became a certified coach, and started crafting a more holistic approach to health—one that listens, adapts, and sees women as whole people.
That approach is now known as the SAVOR Method™:
Sustenance – what you eat, when, and why,
Activity – movement that fits you,
Vitality – understanding your unique medical and genetic makeup,
Organization – learning how to manage life’s stress,
Refuelment – tapping into the things that energize and uplift you.
Julie designed this method to be flexible and deeply personal.
“We’re all different—even down to our cells,” she says. “What works for one woman might not work for another. That’s why coaching has to meet people where they are.”
She also believes that when one woman thrives, it has a ripple effect. It’s why her logo is a ripple—representing how small, meaningful changes can flow outward into every area of life. “There’s actually science behind the idea that if a mom is thriving, her whole family feels it.”
More than 90% of Julie’s clients are women, many of whom initially hesitate to seek support because they see it as a sign of weakness. Julie flips that script. “Asking for support doesn’t mean something’s wrong,” she says. “It means you care enough to want more for yourself.”
Her business has grown not just from her passion, but also through the guidance of other women who lead by example. One of those women is Melissa Barker, founder of Women Entrepreneurs Inc. and a marketing and PR expert who helped Julie reimagine her brand. Julie credits Melissa—who will emcee the upcoming 2025 Women in Business event in downtown Greenville on July 16—with helping her clarify her message and align her brand with her mission.
“Melissa has this incredible energy. She believes in visibility, in women showing up for each other. Working with her helped me lean into my voice in a new way,” Julie says.
Julie's work continues to reach women who are ready to redefine what health means for them. Beyond coaching, she’s passionate about maternal and community health and previously served on the board of a domestic violence shelter—an experience that taught her how powerful environment can be in shaping wellness. “When you change your surroundings, your health can start to shift, too.”
Looking ahead, her goals are clear: protect her peace, do work that matters, stay grounded in family, build real relationships, and keep space for creativity. “You have to think about your future self,” she says. “Where do you want to be, and how do you want to feel when you get there?”
She sums up her mission in three simple but powerful words: Helping Women Thrive.
And that’s exactly what she does—through every conversation, every coaching session, and every ripple she helps create.
